Demineralised white spot lesions occur frequently, after orthodontic treatment. Some teeth are more prone to demineralization (typically the maxillary lateral incisors and the mandibular canine teeth). The disto-gingival area of the labial enamel surface is the area most commonly affected. In the first few weeks after removal of the fixed appliances, there is a reduction in white spot lesion size, and appearance, possibly due to the action of saliva.
